Hi all! I'm Melody. I have a 2 month old son. Finally at that stage where little man is sleeping longer stretches in the night so my energy has been much better and I'm now completely recovered from the delivery. I lost 35kg leading up to my pregnancy, however I did IVF and got OHSS at the end (severely enlarged ovaries…

I use MapMyRun. When I started running up to 5k I originally incl the warm up but when I signed up for my first 5k race I knew race day it wouldn't count so now I don't. Now Im training for a 10k! :)

I live in Vancouver, Canada but I'm from New Zealand and I LOVE hiking. We're experiencing nasty levels of bushfire smog too so unfortunately I've missed out on hiking this month. Last June I did however complete a hike on my list of goals to do - Diez Vista Trail. 15km, approx 500m elevation. Gorgeous views that day.…

Also if it helps, look at a kilo of butter everytime you want to binge and think - thats what will go into my body. Or google arteries that are clogged up with plaque. Educate yourself! Ignorance is not bliss!

How do I not binge on junkfood? Well we've all got food vices and I don't have a binging type personality (I think its more an emotional problem than a food problem). However I used to LOVE Big Macs. I don't know why since Im not generally crazy over fast food and the majority of it smells and tastes revolting but for some…

Ive not done an MFP entry for other sub/deli places but my subway sandwich is really easy - 6" honey oat bread, chicken strips, spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, and cucumber with thin line of honey mustard. If your doing a 12 inch sandwich its best to start your search like: "Subway 12" tomatoes" or "subway 12" meatball…

Im a Kiwi and since everyone in this darn adoptive country of mine (Canada) thinks Im an Aussie we may as well form a club eh? Like some kind of ANZAC group lol

You're not really achieving much with the plain ones regardless anyway as they're all extremely processed. And any plain cereal will always taste bland because you've screwed up your taste buds with processed cereal. Not much you can do except suck it up, eat the most unprocessed cereal with sweet flavourful fruit like…

Watties tomato sauce - Its what we use in New Zealand (and Australia) instead of ketchup. My Canadian hubby and his family think it tastes like no name water ketchup but I consider that highly insulting, it has less sugar and vinegar than Heinz Ketchup. If you smother ketchup with everything then yes any alternative will…

Hi Im Melody. Im 26 and definitely a newbie at running just for the sake of running. I ran a lot in high school but never noticed how much because I did it for sports and just general activity. My high school PE teacher used to make us do 5km runs in under 30 mins and I remember I used to always finish at the 29min mark.…

Show me what you were regularly eating from the age of 5 up to you deciding to lose weight and I'll show you why you think veg is "bland". To me its like saying water is bland, or regular intercourse is bland. My Mom always told me if I get bored with veg, water or sex its because I didn't work hard enough for it. Like the…

I just carry on through my period personally, I just know I won't be doing much productivity that first day as I'll be practically writhing in pain regardless of pain killers. Then after 24 hours of pure hell I go back to normal. I give myself treat days but I would never do it on my period day. How is it a treat if I…

Swimming - Im only 26 but every now and then, usually from my up hill hiking excursions I get achy hips, that do this grinding sensation (yes I do stretch beforehand). I also have an old lower back injury from being a care aide worker and a previous shoulder injury that makes putting my bra on and putting shirts on/off…

At the end of the day only YOU decide and choose what to put in your mouth. There's no such thing as "he/she made me". And a guy who gets angry at his girlfriend for not eating his leftover junkfood? What kind of prat does that? Just calmly explain why and say no and be consistent. Sometimes the people around you whose…

Im looking forward to walking/hiking/running without my thighs rubbing together... That would be super.. lol

Oh I just noticed you stated it was paleo.. Well.. Good luck with that.. lol. Ever seen 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'?

How do you define low carb in your current diet? What are the specifics? I personally follow the Bob Harper rule for carbs ie none after lunch. That means I invest in healthy low GI carbs in the morning (my biggest amount), a medium amount for lunch and none at all for dinner. I personally think zero carb diets are…

I do low carb as according to the 'Skinny Rules' of Bob Harper ie No carbs after lunch. So I do eat carbs for breakfast and lunch but not dinner. The theory behind it is that good healthy low GI carbs are needed for energy and for keeping your blood sugars normal throughout the day when you need energy so it makes sense to…

Umm warm fuzzies? lol

Avocado, whole milk, brazil nuts and fish (esp salmon) are good healthy fatty foods. Me personally I have been cutting out carbs but only after after my lunch. My breakfasts and lunches are very much bulked out with healthy low GI carbs that have high fiber and nutrients in them because I know I need the energy from it as…

Im so relieved to be honest that Im not the only one who gets these stupid comments! I worked as a temp last year at a law firm and one of the female lawyers there came over to me said hi, patted my stomach and said "Oooh when are you due?" I replied "Err no Im not pregnant, I just like cake." She practically ran away from…

Howdy partner!! How much weight are you looking to lose?

I agree with the frustration you're having. I love fruit big time and fruit is good for you right? I was told that if I crave sugar to eat an orange which I do often, as my post work out natural sugar boost along with water but boy, if you add other fruit like grapes, pineapple, berries, apples, peaches, I always end up…

I have no idea to be honest. Im at the beginning of my weight loss "journey" and Ive cut all junkfood out (incl soda) and my absolute faveorite: ice cream. Ive also on recommendation cut out white potatoes entirely, and carbs from my dinner. I guess I'll see how it goes..
